In order to prepare the software engine for the upcoming release of Circle², we’ve recently been restructuring how Circle interacts with DAW hosts. This has caused some users to experience difficulties when launching recent versions of Circle as a plugin, particularly in Pro Tools.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve now finished the major changes and are ready to begin open Beta testing for a new version of Circle with the revamped host interaction. On our test system, this new version resolves all outstanding issues with supported host integration - including in Pro Tools 11 - on both Windows and Mac platforms. The downloads are available at the following links:

We’d love to hear your feedback on this new Beta version of Circle. If you have any issues, please let us know your operating system and DAW host along with a description of the problem. If you download the update and find that everything is working correctly, we’d still love to hear from you - this feedback is also helpful for us to monitor our progress.

As ever, we’d like to thank our loyal community for your ongoing support, and we look forward to revealing more of Circle²’s exciting new features in the coming weeks!
